As programmer's we know that if we create a temporary file during the running of our application we need to make sure it is removed when the application or process is complete. We do this, but why can't Microsoft do it? Visual Studio leaves tons of temporary files all over your hard drive. This is why, over time, your computer loses hard disk space.
